March is Planting Season!

People who set aside extra time for gardening in spring and again in fall find that their gardens require less maintenance during the cool winter and hot summer months.
-Plant artichokes, chayote, corn, green beans, New Zealand spinach and tomatoes.
-If you have room there's still enough cool weather left to plant a few cool-season crops: i.e. beets, cabbage, head lettuce, kohlrabi, mesclun, and potatoes.
-Of course you can plant year-round crops: i.e. beets, carrots, chard, radishes, turnips.
-Plant herbs

Gardeners with low-lying or mesa-top gardens should still be aware of cool temperatures at night and the possibility of frost until March 15.

Control Snails and Slugs

March is a good time to plant Citrus, Avocado and Macadamia trees.

Continue to fertilize Citrus and Avocado trees.
